Hello,
In this video, I'll show you how to do your own pm service on your Thermo King Tripac apu. It's very simple and should be done on a regular basis to keep your apu running good all year round. And to ensure a good long healthy life for your equipment. I'll also tell you about a good resource to get parts and service kits for all of your Thermo King products

Video saved me a bunch of money. Wish there was a cut off valve at the filter to keep the line from draining. Had to Crack each line to get the air out of the lines. It would have been easier with the proper tube wrench. But gotter done. Thanks.

You make stuff so simple the way you explain it. Glad I watched this honestly I would've paid someone to do this until now that I've seen how simple and easy it is. I really do appreciate your videos.

Just bought a 2007 Peterbilt with a Thermo King APU. Not sure of the model yet. My friend said to service it before I ran it. I had no idea how to do it until I saw your awesome video. Thank you!

Great Video. With the price of Deisel in 2022 I can’t afford to keep idling my truck. And I recently did a overhaul on my motor in Nov of 2021. So an APU is a no brained at this point. Thanks Again For The Video.

With amzoil you should be able to go a year without service, with exception of air filter, go on amzoil a d see if they offer oil filter for your unit... Buddy of mine runs amzoil in his isx with amzoil filters and he gets about 40k miles

Hey is there some type of shut off valve for the fuel? When I took the fuel filter off there was a constant drip off fuel coming out until I was able to get the new filter on. It was pretty steady so not sure if that's normal or if there is some type of shut off for the fuel. Thanks

@DIYSEMI 2 жыл бұрын

I've only had one truck so far that has a shut off. It's normal for fuel to drip...as long as it's not major enough to lose your prime

What size filter wrench do you use for both filters

@DIYSEMI 3 жыл бұрын

Not sure of the measurements. An automotive size band wrench will fit. Or a strap wrench will fit many size filters. You can probably get these off by hand with no wrench

@am.b5688 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the great video, but we should avoid to pour diesel directly to the middle hole of the fuel filter because it needs to go through the filter for filtering, so i think we need to fill the smaller holes on the side of the filter. Am i wrong?

@DIYSEMI 3 жыл бұрын

That's how I do it. I may have over filled it trying to hold a camera and filter and fuel all at once. All filters should be filled thru the small holes even oil

It's free. If u want it your way you can pay me to make custom videos just for you. Take the time to learn how something works rather than get shown how to go thru the motions
